This thread is funny. And the Conservatives inside it are even more hilarious. Hell, I think I'd break my "don't be pretentious" policy just for this thread.

There are some people who we don't usually get in Off Topic that are posting in this thread and providing opinions, so I'd say this is turning out great.

Anyways, what you all fail to realize is that both candidates are complete liars and make up policies based on what they think the largest number of people believe in at that certain moment. This has been going on with nearly every presidential election ever and people still think they're geniuses because they listen to each candidate's views.

Actually, both candidates are pretty much tools of their respective party, so you have to look at which party suits you, and not the candidate. In this case, the Democrats clearly are a lesser of two evils.

Now, why would you vote for McCain when the Republican party is clearly in shambles? There have been periods where one party was clearly the better choice (Reagan years) and where the opposite party was needed (present day).

Not that I need to convince anyone, Obama is almost certain to win the candidacy, unless the Republicans try one of those smear campaigns which they seem to enjoy so much.

 

Hmm... I agree with you. I peg Obama's chances of winning at 90%

-the more optomistic canditate wins 75% of the time, and that is Obama. Republicans had a "bad" (unpopular) president, so the next republican either has to compelty disosiate from the former, or have very different policies. McCain is easily comparable to Bush.

-Both candidates have indeed flip flopped, which means they are making up stuff to get votes- gas tax holiday? come on!

That said, I think Obama has a good chance of turning this recession into a depression if he implements to many social programs to fast and pulls out of Iraq and creates a power vacum for Iran to take over the middle east.
